Servicing the Bedbar

Only a properly trained mechanic should service the

bedbar, or bedknife. Ideally, take the cutting unit to
your authorized Toro distributor for service. Refer to

instructions, special tools, and diagrams for servicing
the bedknife. Should you ever need to remove

provided below, as are the specifications for servicing

Important:
Always follow the bedknife
procedures detailed in your Service Manual when
servicing the bedknife. Failure to install and grind
